This article is rated as having multiple issues. The examples do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. The neutrality of the article has also been disputed. The article is not part of any WikiProjects.

I'm a bit confused by the section covering leadership roles in the church and how that is necessary to the topic of pink collar. Possibly remove that?

It is distracting that the article is not more specific about the region it is speaking about, which is one of the issues editors have had with this article.

The article does not expand on information regarding pink collar work. Since the 1970s, American companies have moved factories to countries where labor is much "cheaper" (Latin America and Asia). This led to a significant decline in industrial manufacturing and the rise of a service economy. This deindutrialzation (the shift from a manufacturing-based economy to a service-based economy) in the United States increased the demand for women workers.

Possibly add a section on the Feminization of Transnational Labor Migration (?) - the increased migration of women across national borders for paid work. Increased demand for informal pink collar work; paid domestic care and sex work in global cities in the global north.

Immigrant women are left out of the article completely. and how the demand for care work is directly related to the gendered division of labor in the United States.

The links for the citations all work. However, some are quite old. Perhaps it would be beneficial to look into checking if the citations, specifically those which include statistics, have changed and then updating them with more reputable numbers based on new sources. The article could definitely use some more credible sources. There are several issues with the “background” section of the article. Mainly, as I have stated, that it focuses entirely too much on the history of the American women’s entry into the workforce and very little focus on the gendered division of labor/its implications.

This article seems to be focused more on how women in the United States entered the workforce rather than the establishment of pink collar work.

It’s entirely too focused on the work of American women and does not even acknowledge the role that immigrant women have played in this gendered work. Safe to say that the American women viewpoint is heavily overrepresented and that the immigrant woman’s viewpoint is underrepresented.

The talk page shows that many Wikipedia editors have problems with this article. There are many comments talking about how the article does not really cover the topic. Two people say that the article has clearly been written by someone with a “feminist political agenda.” As I have stated, there is talk about the article focusing mostly on the history of the working woman and not tackling the subject of pink collar workers are all. There has also previously been many issues with grammar in the article.

I think the sexism in this article can be clearly seen in how people speak about it in the talk page. Even though this is an article that is literally about women (!), people are claiming that it has a feminist bias. This is baffling to me because pink collar work is work that is gendered. It is work that is feminized and women are literally forced into this type of work (specifically immigrant women). I think that there is a lot of technology in these pink collar jobs as well. Women join together to create business to take control of the care work they perform. I think that is underrepresented.

It might also be beneficial to add something about how men also perform pink collar work. I’d need to look into scholarly sources that reference this topic. Also, try to figure out how that can be linked to gender and technology. ?? More millennial men are doing pink collar work because technology is affecting blue collar work. Machines are able to perform many of the tasks that were typically gendered male within factories etc.
